Porta Napoli
Porta Napoli is one of the important entrances to the historic center of Lecce, located near the Baroque-style area in the city center. The gate originally served as a defensive point in the city walls and a passage to Naples, later gradually becoming a city gate and part of the city's identity. Its appearance is characterized by symmetrical stone carvings and classical elements, reflecting the architects' pursuit of proportion and decoration at the time. In terms of the surrounding environment, Porta Napoli is one of the important starting points for exploring the old town of Lecce on foot. The squares and streets near the gate are filled with shops, cafes, and small exhibitions, where pedestrians can experience the city's daily life and historical atmosphere. Passing through the gate, visitors can enter the core Baroque area of Lecce and experience the artistic atmosphere conveyed by the stone carvings and architectural details. The area in front of or around the gate is often a popular spot for photography enthusiasts, as the light and architectural contours present diverse visual effects at different times of the day. For travelers who want to learn about the history and architectural style of Lecce, Porta Napoli offers a concise point of interest, making it easy to identify the city's historical context during a short walking tour.Lecce · 20.1 km from Galatina

Trulli, Rione Monti
Trulli, Rione Monti is one of the best-preserved complexes of conical stone dwellings in Europe. Trulli are a unique type of dry-stone construction built without mortar, relying solely on limestone blocks stacked in layers, with conical roofs formed by stones corbelled outward layer by layer. This architectural technique dates back to prehistoric times and is still used in the Itria Valley today. Originally scattered across the countryside as farmhouses, animal shelters, or storage for farm tools, Alberobello is where these trulli are clustered together. The town preserves over 1,500 trulli, mainly concentrated in two areas: the Rione Monti district in the south features approx. 1,000 conical-roofed houses, with various handicraft shops lining the streets, and many shop owners invite visitors inside to see the interior structure of the trulli; the Rione Aia Piccola district is smaller and retains a more authentic residential character, with no commercial shops, offering a quieter atmosphere perfect for a leisurely stroll. As you wander through, you will see layers of white limestone walls and gray conical roofs.Italy · Alberobello

When the weather is good, this place is absolutely beautiful, so my reminder is to make sure the sky is clear before you go, so that the photos will look good. Otherwise, if it is gray, although it is also beautiful, the photos taken will not have that fairy-tale feeling. The photos below were taken on a cloudy day, so the sky is not very blue. This place is definitely worth a visit, especially in the summer. It is very beautiful. There are many special shops, restaurants, cafes and places for handmade leather products.
